Life is a Puzzle

Life is a puzzle. Sometimes with a few pieces missing
We may not realize that fact until the end, and we sit wishing

We regret we even started solving the picture of the puzzle
Because our eyes’ attention to the missing pieces leaves us somewhat muddled

Anticipation grew while working on it
a little bit each day
The excitement began increasing for the images
displayed

When almost done, we may have thought
It was worth all the effort

To sit and try to connect a piece while tirelessly
We would sort

And in the end, when we finally realized
That Some pieces would never materialize

We question whether our effort had been in vain
still, we had the joy from the puzzle working game

The picture is still clear for the most part
Just like the image we probably thought

The key is to keep your eyes from wandering to what’s not there
Stay focused on the image the picture intended to share

When others’ imperfections from time to time
irritate you
Look at the bigger picture, minus a puzzle piece
Or two
